Editor’s Note:

The FN 509 Tactical is based on the pistol FN submitted for the US Army Modular Handgun Trials. While it is very much like the standard 509, the Tactical model features an optics-ready slide that allows for the low-profile mounting of red dots. Also included are tritium night sights, with the rear sights sporting protective wings to help avoid any damage during hard use. Present is a 4.5-inch cold hammer-forged threaded barrel. Controls are fully ambidextrous and the 509 Tactical comes with one 17-round and one 24-round magazine. Like the base model the 509 Tactical shines as a full-size duty pistol.

By The Numbers - FN 509 Tactical

Accuracy
It pings targets exactly where you want. No issues here.
Reliability
Our test gun kept pinging targets with no issues.
Customization
You can throw on a red dot, suppressor, or light, and those 24-round mags are great. That said, it doesn’t have the full suite of aftermarket as Glock.
Ergonomics
It feels great in the hand, and the fact that it supports left-handed shooters is a bonus.

Glock 19X

$588.00

The Glock 19X has served as Glock’s first “crossover” pistol. It combines the grip length of the G17 with the frame and slide length of the G19, creating a pistol that can flex into multiple duty roles. It comes with a coyote brown frame and nPVD corrosion-resistant slide coating, ambidextrous slide stop levers, a lanyard loop, the Glock Marskman Barrel, and a flared magazine well. Those features, combined with a standard set of night sights and 3 magazines, make this Glock ready to go right out of the box.

“The CZ P-09 is an overall excellent handgun.  It’s a modern option for those who desire a polymer frame, hammer-fired, DA/SA gun.  It’s taken the CZ-75 platform and brought it into the modern era of defensive handguns. The P-09 is a great handgun, and it performs where it needs to.” – Travis Pike

“Overall, I am happy with my FN 509 Tactical. The folks at FN bring you a fantastic 9mm handgun with a great trigger in an optics-compatible, suppressor-ready platform. What more could you want? So, from me, this gun gets two big thumbs up.” – Johnny B
